[You]

Now I dont even remember anything about Ciel route aside from that scene where Arc pushed you down

She's just kinda boring for me idk

two words
endless stone

[castor212]

Im glad they did how they did with Kohaku route

Imo itll actually be weirder to do Kohaku route before Akha or Hisui

定番といわんばかりの肉じゃが (Shirou's trademark nikujaga):

Spoiler:

This looks delicious, I want to try making it

[Marmadillo]

I think this is around where I realized there's a reason VN players like having bazillions of save slots.

Yeah, but I don't understand why they do this for kinetic novels as well.

[Nikiri]

TM channel uploaded this thing (which was aired after F/GO First Order, I think).

[Marmadillo]

I like the pseudo-animatedy thing that Mahoyo did.

Still probably the most visually impressive vn I've seen. And without the animated sprites.

[AmADo VII]

^^
oh wow, look at those Nobu's private collection

[asterism42]

Still probably the most visually impressive vn I've seen. And without the animated sprites.

The first I ever saw of Mahoyo was when someone showed me a video of the 'shoot the moon' scene. Quite the introduction.

Will the Protype versions of characters like Shuten and Ibaraki become shotas?

[LegalLoliLover]

Will the Protype versions of characters like Shuten and Ibaraki become shotas?

Ibaraki would probably still be loli, though. As I mentioned, even the Koei versions of Ibaraki and Sanzang are female.

[Mcjon01]

Koei has nothing to do with Prototype.

It's the last couple days where HF shines and why people are left with a better impression of the whole route than they should have.

Can't really say I can see where you're coming from, since the most times people forget the really great parts in the beginning, like Sakura and Shirou talking in the evening about their lives so far (that guy who said Sakura disliked Shirou's ideal must have missed that scene) about, or, and this is particularly damning for people who claim to really like Ilya, lots and lots of good setup for building her sibling relationship with Shirou as well as giving us rather important hints about the war, the Third, and what's to come in the first six days.

Far too many people get surprised at things that get foreshadowed really early on or outright forget whole scenes that explain or show why certain events happen, which is why the majority of the opinions you get are "Sakura is cray-cray, Ilya and Kotomine carried the route, Shirou is somehow a different person despite much of his actions being reflective upon what we've seen in earlier routes".

Really, too much happens from beginning to end. That is why condensing all that info into three movies is gonna be tough.

So many misconceptions are made about the route it's not even funny:

1.) All Sakura does is faint and sleeping, she never does anything.

False. She does quite a lot, saves Shirou twice at particular harm to herself, and argues about helping out whenever she gets the chance, despite her condition. Not even mentioning the fact that in spite of all the "Sakura hates Rin" stuff, there are tons of scenes where she very honestly tells Shirou what she thinks of her, the good and the bad and her insecurities.

2.) Saber dies off quickly.

False. She died almost halfway into the route and has particularly nice scenes before she gets assimilated.



3.) Cooking scenes memes

Let's face it, this is the stupidest misconception of the bunch, considering that we've all seen throughout the game itself that Nasu loves some food porn.
Ironically, the scenes where the characters just sit and neat have really good parts to them some dismiss. Like Sakura losing her sense of touch, taste, and other human functions showing the problems about being the grail before she was even revealed as one.

To be honest, it mostly sounds like a reactionary thing to say HF doesn't deserve it's accolades because so often route comparisons end up as little more than "my favorite is great, and yours has all the flaws" (despite the fact all three have good and bad points) and people get pissy when they see that often.

[Mcjon01]

Maybe if everybody forgets the beginning parts they weren't really really great.

[Tobias]

I stopped paying attention a while ago, so it is three full movies then?

[castor212]

Yes.

Inb4 they made it 4 instead at last minute

[Rafflesiac]

HF is one movie, airing this summer!

[Altima of the Gates]

Maybe if everybody forgets the beginning parts they weren't really really great.

Doubtful, since most seem to like the sibling dynamic, and a lot of those parts aren't in the last couple of days. Seems more of a selective memory issue.

[hayate]

HF is one movie, airing this summer!

Wait, not three?

Welp.

Ah, well.

Spoiler:

Now that I finished part 1 of Grand Order, since the day I found out Ayako Kawasumi voiced Fou in a drama CD, I now imagine her voicing as PM.

Kawasumi's voice now takes over Tsukihime's antagonist.

Nasu, I know you can make this one happen.

[AvengerEmiya]

Why do all of these FGO doujins suck?

[castor212]

Its a doujin, of course it sucks.

And swallows.
